I'm eating a Falaful - what the hell is it???

[Sparky Kronkite]

I'm a very busy guy today - so the crew got me lunch. I can eat anything so I simply said "get me what you're having."

So this Falaful (spelling here, I have no clue?) thing - it's like a salad with a bean curd dressing and three little sausage-looking patties are dropped on the side - but it's not sausage, not spicy and probably grain of some sort. Pita on the side.

Where is it from? The mid-East somewhere I'm sure but where?

What is it? What am I eating now?

I thought a falaful (I don't know how to spell it either) was just like a shawarma. My guess would be that all that stuff is supposed to be inside the pita.

Either way, I know I wouldn't like it.

Spelled Falafal. They come with a variety of ingredients/fillings so your guess is as good as mine Sparky.

The "sausage like things" are probably the fried chick peas.

I would much prefer a Donair/Gyro gimme real mystery meat protein any day

 

[Sparky Kronkite]

It's so bland.....

all these bean things are - unless they really spike them up like some Humis makers do. These chick pea patties are like - nothin - corn flakes have more taste.

At least it doesn't taste bad. Just, no taste.

Actually falafal and esplinade are two of my favorite words.

Sparky, you are such a goy!!

FALAFEL is made from dried chickpeas and sesonings and dep fried. It is a wonderful mid-eastern dish.

The Detroit area has the largest arabic population outside of the Mid-east. There are lots of restaraunts here that serve falafel and all the other mideastern treats. I'm sure that NYC has its share, too.


Your blood brother,

Absolutely Flamingo old chap! They are a piece of cake to make at home too. We all learned how to do it from Johnny Foreigner in the days of the Empire, don't you know?
